BMW in Tashkent

Two days ago we reached Tashkent. 20min before they closed I reached BMW Service, the only BMW garage in Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Marcin didn't. 200m before we got there his motorbike turned off and didn't want to be restarted. The fan of the radiator had died a sudden death and a fuse popped... so he had to push it the last few meters. Today we will hopefully be able to pick up our spare parts from the airport, and with the help of one of the guys from BMW we will hopefully be able to take them immediately and not have to wait around for days.
As it turned out, it is impossible to get the proper oil for my suspension fork in Uzbekistan, so we (several people from BMW here and me) spent most of the day yesterday searching for an appropriate substitute. With some luck we'll be able to organize it until tomorrow and then I can fix my bike too. Hooray. Without Christian's support from Germany we would be in deep trouble here. But as things are, I am quite confident we'll fix our mechanical problems soon. Once that is done I'll upload some photos of the last few days.
